Other occupations in the lower altitude regions are trading, cultivation, and work as guides or

porters with trekking expeditions. Sherpa men and women carry heavy loads up to high altitudes. Yaks are sometinies used for the transport of equipment.

About 90% of the people earn their inoney through farming. Most farms produce enough harley to upport one family. Nepalese farmers trade :Inv

surplus crops they niay raise for important items such as kerosene and salt. Cultivation of the land occurs

from March to October. As well as harley, potatoes, wheat and green vegetables are grown. The farmers work with their hands and use a small hoe called a

'khodali'. Men are usually out leading a trek, so it is the women who do the farming. They also grow, cut and dry hay as fodder for animals in winter.

During my trekking journey in the Himalayan mountains of Nepal, I was able to get an insight into

the lives of these amazing people. I also saw some of the most exquisite scenery in the whole world, which made the trip unforgettable.

A Personal Response to the Mentor Program.

Although iny picture story book. 'George's Great Adventure'. written in Year Eight, was the catalyst which first brought me into contact with tile Mentor Program, I clid not take lip the challenge of this rewarding experience until earlier this vear, much to

the delight of Ms jenner. Iii the interim, some 18 nionths from when the suggestion was first mooted, 1

had continued to further develop my writing skills and to build up a folio of artwork focussing pat-ticularly upon drawing, so that 1 then thought 1 had a Hic,le substantial base lipoll which to present mv creative talents to an established book illustrator

and author such as Ann.Jmnes.

From the outset, Ann has been warm and moxt

receptive. She has given me constructive advice

about not only iny work, but tile wider parameters and current trends iii published literature for both the verv volitic and the adolescent reader.

Consequently. I have gained a new insight into the relationship between the plinted word, the lavout/forinat, the selection of an appropriate style

of illustration and, especially ill the case of adolescent fiction, the importance and impact of the cover clesign/artwork. Br reference to her own

'workbook: Ami has highlighted the vast range of possibilities in illusti-ation and thix has inspired me to experiment witli various niedia and styles to the point where I am now beginning to create an

inclividual linear technique. This personal style

1 would have had the desire or courage to put-sue these endeavours.

Since I have ahradv come to the conchision that

my future will not revolve solely 11'ound illtistration

and/or writing, having set my sights upon an academic career iii Fine Arts, I am inost excited to

have become friends with Freya I.(,inbardo. through

the Mentor Program. Freva, presenth' undertaking curatorial/conservation studies iii my chosen field, is

a very vibrant and enthusiastic prison to whoin I can relate iii her capacity as a 'big sister'. Her knowledge of life at Melbourne Liniversity, her experiences of overseas travel and woik, alid 0111- Slicired enjovment of art and exhibitions such as Heide's 'On the Road

to Berry - I.lovd Rees and Brett Whitel€ have all influenced me to become more advelltilroils and to

truly 'Seize tile day'!

Upon review then, my involvement thi-ough the

Mentor Program with both Aim and Freva has been most beneficial. The opportimity of being able to confer with someone who has similar interests and/or

ambitions as yourself, and yet who is indepell(lent from the most immediate circles of influence, that is.

familv, friends, school and teachers, is invalizable.

Even though 1 have not been under any duress, I have found their opinions and advice very constructive

with a positive flow-on into my own written and graphic 'oeuvres'. This iii turn has eng-endered iii me a greater sense of confidence and self-assertiveness 21% I look forward with a broader vision to tile future

achievement of inv personal goals.

reflects an added sense of confidence and maturitv

of expression gained through iny contact with ill)' metitor.

Furthermore, lioin our discussions I have realised

the significance of a literarv stvle which is appropriate to its targeted audience. Thus I have

now become even more critical of published works, sci utinizing those specific features and techiliques

which make them 'work', rather than primarily basing my judgement upon the satistactoriness or otherwise of the narrative/storyline. Bearing in mind the analysis of expertise gleaned recently from

a re-examination of several popular authors shortlisted in the Children's Book Awards, I decided

to embark upon two distinct writing projects. Both were competition entries, one local and the other national, and whilst they were written with a view to combining my interests in literature, art and history,

mv principal go.11 was to utilise the relevant

technique to capture the desired audience. The first is a short story whose framework of historical fact is

incorporated within an eve-catching 'collage' front
